Mila’s smile curved softly. “There’s nothing urgent. I simply wished to
share more moments with you while I’m still here in Phoenicia, and
while you’re still nearby.”Nathan’s question was sincere. “To develop feelings with me?”A soft smile danced on Mila’s lips as she nodded in affirmation.”And even after you’ve developed feelings for me, you still intend to
leave?” Nathan probed.Mila responded with simplicity, “Yes.”Nathan’s gaze clouded as he passed by Mila, muttering to himself,
“You’re creating problems for yourself.”Following him into the living room, Mila pressed further, “Why would
you say that?”As Nathan settled into a seat, he picked up an orange from the coffee
table and began to peel it. “If you must leave, why bother seeking
trouble when there are none?”Mila hesitated to delve deeper into the topic. Leaning closer to him, she
asked softly, “Nate, what was Fenna here to discuss with you just
now?”FindNovel.netNathan handed her the peeled orange.Mila blinked in surprise, a smile gradually spreading across her face as
she looked at the orange in her hand.Nathan explained calmly, “To send some documents and discuss
work.””What kind of work?” Mila asked curiously while munching on the fruit
and savoring its sweetness and unique aroma.Nathan frowned at her, remaining silent.”Is it confidential?” Mila probed, sensing his hesitation. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on FɪndNovel .ɴᴇt Ads by PubFuture
Nathan’s demeanor turned serious. “Anything about my work should
remain confidential from you.”Mila paused, her expression darkening. It felt like a setback, leaving her
feeling somewhat helpless.She nibbled on the orange slowly, its flavor lacking, and her heart
weighed down.Fenna’s words reverberated in her mind. Fenna could be Nathan’s
lifelong friend, colleague, or even soulmate.Meanwhile, Mila’s uncertain status made even a simple inquiry about
Nathan’s work feel like she was prying into classified information.As Nathan observed Mila’s sudden downturned expression, his gaze
intensified and his heart sank.Together, in silence, they found solace, as if time itself paused in
perfect harmony.Mila snapped out of her despondent reverie, only to find Nathan staring
at her lips.She reached up to touch the corner of her mouth, finding nothing there,
then glanced down at the orange in her hand.Realizing his intent, she offered the orange to Nathan. “Would you like
some, Nate?”Nathan shook his head, his voice soft and gentle. “No, thank you.””It’s very sweet, give it a try.”“You have it,” Nathan declined again, shifting his gaze away as he
reached for his phone in his pocket.Before he could unlock the screen, Mila surprised him by kneeling on
the sofa, gently cradling his face in her hands, and leaning in to kiss
him.Nathan froze at her sudden boldness.With a thud, his phone slipped from his grasp and hit the floor.Though inexperienced, Milas kiss was daring, parting his lips and filling
his mouth with the lingering sweetness of the orange. Soft yet
tantalizing, it stirred his senses.Nathan tried to push her away, but his body lost to his desire. His
hands hovered over her shoulders, torn between pushing her away and
pulling her closer.Closing his eyes, Nathan’s hand moved from Milas shoulder to tenderly
cradle the back of her head, deepening the kiss, their tongues
intertwining.It felt like an eternity since their last kiss, the longing nearly consumed
him.Mila had intended to offer him a taste of the orange, but she hadn’t
anticipated his passionate response, drawing her into an even deeper
embrace.
